I have recently been spending time in prayer doing my best to seek God's plan for me instead of always trying to be in control.<br /><br />I hope you feel better soon!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326884420045755790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-79624653671390365192010-03-01T14:45:51.775-05:002010-03-01T14:45:51.775-05:00((Brenda))

It was I who chose another plan (B, C, D...) because I didn't like His plan for some reason or another. My detours are what God uses to steer me back to Plan A, Plan A not being a particular physical destination but a spiritual journey to holiness, and only through Jesus Christ.<br />Good food for thought and meditation.

Thank you for the insight on the "best laid plans...". In thinking back on my own life I too have had many experiences with end of the alphabet plans :). Happily, hind sight reveals that they've led me to better paths and higher ground (metaphorically speaking). Take care my kind friend.<br />Love and hugs from,<br />Tracey.<br />x0xTracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-47423844886758969432010-02-28T14:02:21.821-05:002010-02-28T14:02:21.821-05:00And it can all be just a bit scary...

Maybe after plans A and B went south, I stopped counting and mostly, many times anyway, just existed. One teacher we like to listen to says that EVERYTHING happens for a reason, whether we ever learn why or not. And even those hard learning days were ordained by HIM. HE knows we are frail, slow learners, and easily derailed...yet, HE ever patiently keeps teaching us. I am glad for that!<br /><br />Glad you are somewhat returned...take time to rest extra. Sometimes I think we get more ill simply because we try to return to much activity too soon. And we too know the difficulty of dealing with diabetes in the midst of it all. Though we are not YET to the point you are in the disease.

As a parent, it would be the ultimate gift if we could impart this knowledge to our children when they are struggling,encountering their own hurdles and disappointments, etc. Alas, they do not usually acquire this perspective until they are, well, tested themselves. It is all sometimes just too strange to think about. God does create a way in each of our lives to meet us and our needs personally and somehow only He can impart that wisdom.
